    The month in Search

    There haven’t been any Penguin updates this last month, but Google Panda 3.9.1 happened on August 20, 2012. We didn’t see any impact to most client rankings. Penguin v1.2 update is still expected to happen any day now, and (Google Spokesperson) Matt Cutts says to expect a bumpy ride. The early revisions of Panda were wild and somewhat “wooly”. Is page 1 top 7 now?! Around mid-month, Google started showing only 7 results, and from fewer sites, for a good

    Changes last month in the world of Organic Search

    There weren’t any Penguin updates this last month either, but Google Panda 3.9 happened on July 24, 2012. We didn’t see any impact to client rankings. But Google Panda updates should be a constant reminder: Have you added to your site lately?

    Trouble with 3rd party Pagerank checking?

    Many webmasters and advertisers still rely on Google pagerank as an important metric to determine value of their URLs, and may have noticed that their 3rd party tools are not functioning. Dave Naylor, who runs a leading UK SEO Agency, informs that the lookup URL has merely changed from: http://toolbarqueries.google.com/search?client=navclient-auto&features=Rank&ch=8f3b58e04&q=info:hyperdogmedia.com to http://toolbarqueries.google.com/tbr?client=navclient-auto&features=Rank&ch=8f3b58e04&q=info:hyperdogmedia.com Hopefully you see the part to change. Some third party pagerank checking tools are probably not being updated, and their users may feel left out in the cold.

    Notes on the Yahoo / Bing Transition

    Yahoo advertisers received an email outlining a few more terms regarding the upcoming transition to the Microsoft Advertising adCenter platform. Some quick points: 1. A Tab will show up in “YSM later this month”, so be sure to login and look around. 2. Yours ads can server in adCenter right away when you transition. 3. Silverlight will continue being used.
